iOS framework symlinks not preserved when exporting Unity Package

Hi. I'm exporting a unitypackage file which contains a custom iOS framework in Assets/Plugins/iOS. The iOS framework has the standard folder structure with symbolic links to the "A" folder, inside "Versions". The problem I'm facing is that when I export the package, the symbolic links inside the iOS framework are replaced by actual copies. Thus, the generate package is approx. 3 times bigger than it's supposed to be and the framework structure is broken. Is there a way I can export the Unity package preserving the symlinks in the framework? Thank you in advance
